The outbreak of the Battle of Songhu undoubtedly announced the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War and attracted the attention of the whole world, including Mosqua. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Indeed, after the July 7 Incident, he paid close attention to the progress of the war in the Eastern Theater, and the bearded man finally breathed a sigh of relief that the military objectives of the Japanese were still in the East, and they would not and would not have the strength to pose a threat to the Far East.

Especially with the outbreak of the Songhu War, the bearded man confirmed that the situation in the Far East was unharmed and that there was no need to continue to pay attention.

You know, Europe at this time is also not stable, and the bearded man is more concerned about the situation in Europe.

At this time, the Spanish Civil War was still going on, and all kinds of forces in Europe were on their feet, and Mosco did not stay out of it, ideology determined their position, and there was no shortage of weapons and ammunition.

The powder keg of Europe can break out at any time, and the dynamics at the doorstep cannot but make Mosko's nerves tense, and at the same time, the outbreak of war in Europe will also produce opportunities, and it is impossible for the bearded man to give up this opportunity.

Marshal Blyukher, commander of the Red Banner Far East Special Army, breathed a sigh of relief, and Mosco asked the Red Banner Far East Special Army Headquarters to be on guard against the threat from the Japanese.

Coupled with the fact that Japan and Russia signed a treaty of friendship, how could there be a war nickname?

As it turned out, such fears were unnecessary.

Well, now that the Japanese army is attacking the Nationalist Government on a large scale, it would be good not to worry about the Red Banner Far East Special Army threatening the Kwantung Army, where are the troops still advancing eastward.

Now, what should the Red Banner Far East Special Army do, the world is peaceful.

What Marshal Blyukher, commander of the Red Banner Far East Special Army, did not know was that at this time, opposite the Red Banner Far East Special Army, the Japanese army was secretly operating and was about to launch a surprise attack.

The sheep let their guard down, but the wolf lurks in the shadows, waiting for the best moment, and may pounce on the sheep at any moment to bite the sheep's neck.

According to the operational plan of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters, after the outbreak of the Songhu Campaign, the Far East Command must prepare for war, seize the fighter planes, and raid the Soviet Russian Far East.

On the night of 18 August 1937, the Far Eastern Army Headquarters issued an operational order, and all divisions and regiments acted in secret, arrived at the predetermined location, and prepared for an attack in the early morning.

And the interspersed troops that had already been prepared immediately moved and had to complete the task at the appointed time to carry out a surprise attack.

For this day, the Japanese Far East Army Command did not wait for a day or two to prepare, just waiting for this best moment to come.

At night, in the headquarters of the Japanese Far East Army, the two masterminds who launched the 918 Incident, Commander Yokoseshiro and Chief of Staff Ishihara Wan'er, were still studying the map at the headquarters and discussing some tactical details.

"The Imperial Army launched a general attack at six o'clock in the morning, and the 12th Division, along with the 79th Division, the 102nd Division, and the 112th Division, formed a northward group, and attacked north along the railway line to block the southward support of Lucy's army.

The 17th Division, the 18th Division, the 117th Division, and the 118th Division formed the Southern Front Group to eliminate Lucy's army in the area south of Shuangchengzi, plus the 19th Division advanced north from the peninsula to quickly encircle and annihilate the Russian army in the southern coastal area.

In terms of troops, the strength of the army of the Great Japanese Empire was not weaker than that of the Red Banner Far East Special Army.

At this time, the Lucy people were still immersed in the friendly atmosphere between Japan and Russia, and the imperial army was attacking the Nationalist government. Hahaha...... "The chief of staff of the Far Eastern Army Command, Ishihara Waner, pointed at the map, looking confident.

Commander Yokoseoshiro nodded frequently, this time the Japanese Army Staff Headquarters was really open-minded, and unknowingly arranged a powerful corps on the border of Soviet Russia, taking advantage of the world's attention to attract the north of the river and the sea of commerce, and attacked the east and the west to take the Far East.

The Special Army of the Russian Far East is a campaign corps in the Far East of Soviet Russia, formed in August 1929. The headquarters was formed on the basis of the organs of the 18th and 19th Infantry Corps of the Siberian Military District, and was under the command of the garrisons of the Far Eastern Territory, the Buryatia-Siberian Territory and the Irkutsk Region, as well as the 21st and 35th Infantry Divisions transferred from the Central Region, and was responsible for the command of the Far Eastern Flotilla under the command of V.K. Blyukher.

At this time, the total strength of the Red Banner Far East Special Army was quite large, including the 22nd, 39th, 40th, 59th, 231st, 300th and 365th divisions, the 75th, 77th and 257th tank brigades, the 48th, 6th and 112th independent tank regiments, as well as artillery, anti-aircraft artillery, engineering and other corps and units. It is equipped with 237 artillery pieces, 285 tanks, and 250 aircraft as air support.

Among them, the 40th Division and the 39th Division of the 2nd Mechanized Brigade and the 77th Tank Brigade were deployed in Shuangchengzi.

The closest armies to Lake Hassan in the coastal area were the 22nd and 365th Divisions, as well as the 75th Tank Brigade and the 257th Tank Brigade, to prevent the Japanese Japanese army from crossing Lake Hassan to attack the coastal area.

And the chief of staff of the Far Eastern Front, the commander of the corps level, Shi Tern, was appointed commander-in-chief of the Primorsky region, and the headquarters was located in Shuangchengzi.

Looking at the map, Ishihara nodded at Shuangchengzi and said, "The most important thing is whether Ogasawara's 23rd Division can complete its mission tonight, arrive at Shuangchengzi on time before dawn, and raid the command system in the coastal area."

Once this goal is accomplished, Lucy's army will inevitably be chaotic, the chain of command will fail, the Imperial army will inevitably eat Lucy's army in the coastal area in one bite, and the entire coastal area will be in the hands of the Imperial army. ”

On the eve of the general offensive, the Far East Command ordered Lieutenant General Ogasawara to send three wings of the 23rd Division to penetrate into the Far Eastern coastal area at night, one wing was responsible for attacking the Shuangchengzi command system, and the other two wings were mainly tasked with attacking tank units, artillery units, and airfields, and creating chaos.

It is conceivable that once the front battle begins, the rear is attacked by the Japanese army, causing the coastal area to seem to be full of targets for the Japanese army, and the polar bear army will definitely take care of the head and tail, and there is a possibility of a large rout and escape.

It can be seen that this war against Russia was different from the Battle of Nomenkan and the Zhang Gufeng Incident, and the Japanese army had a complete battle plan, unlike the later generations that took a tentative offensive or risky military action.

"Nishi, as can be seen from the last war against Russia, Lieutenant General Ogasawara is an excellent commander and will definitely be able to handle the task at this distance." In view of Ogasawara's record, Lieutenant General Yokoseishiro, the commander of the Far East, was very confident in this.

The last time Ogasawara led only a separate mixed brigade and defeated a division of Russian troops, he was immediately rewarded by the Japanese and upgraded the army to a division, and Ogasawara was promoted from a major general to a lieutenant general. (To be continued.) )
